The instruments were four sets namely; the questionnaire for analyzing the problems of functional competency teachers, the constructed model of functional competency teachers by the Professional Learning Community (PLC), the action plan, and the questionnaire for checking the effects of the study, efficiency, effectiveness, value, and satisfaction. The statistical analysis used were percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and content analysis.

The results of the study showed that the problems of Functional Competency Teachers in Sahabumrung Wittaya School as a whole were at a moderate level. The developed model composed of four factors were: P-Plan, A–Act, C–Coaching, and E–Evaluating. This model was called “PACE Model”. The four activities in the experiment were teacher meetings participating, establishing an activity action plan, supervision, and evaluation of the activities, performance report summary, and propose a point that should be developed. The effects of the implemented model showed at a high level of efficiency (mean=4.04, SD=0.58), effectiveness (mean=4.41, SD=0.55), value (mean=4.36, SD=0.57), and satisfaction (mean=4.24, SD=0.50). Most significantly, based on the findings of this research, it was suggested that in implementing the said model, there should be a manual for functional competency teachers to be distributed in the school and to be extended to other schools.
